Meet Dan

In today’s episode of Think Jointly, we interview Mr. Dan Humiston. Dan created the Cannabis World Congress and Business Expo in New York and Los Angeles.

Dan has a unique story. He was a successful businessman in New York, who never envisioned getting into the legal cannabis industry, but two years ago, training for an IronMan event, he had a serious biking accident in which he suffered traumatic injuries to both hips, his brain and vertebrae, his priorities changed.

As a neophyte to the legal cannabis industry, he thought there were likely many people like him, who had a desire to learn the industry inside and out, but there wasn’t a lot of quality content out there. Identifying a need in the industry, he began producing the Cannabis World Congress & Business Expo, one of the most highly attended and popular conferences in the industry.
